tl;dr: Yesterday's election result has been revised and the right-leaning AfD loses one seat. This, totally by accident, drops them below the number of seats required to veto changes to the state constitution and the appointment of judges. Oh and that seat goes to the socialist SPD of course. The government's election manager blames a "software error".
Isn't "democracy" great? If people vote "wrong", just change the results.
Similar to when Mama Merkel while being in South Africa said a state election result had to be changed. This is honestly grounds for re-election.
